Strange that Upson gets grief for his "injury problems", probably deservedly, whereas the big geordie lump seemed to elicit more sympathy than criticism despite costing us considerably more and generally, like Upson, contributing pretty much fuck all towards the club's performances.

He never hid from it though , and as far as we know his injuries were genuine .

He may have been a physical wreck but least he wasn’t a cunt .

Well not much of a cunt anyway

Well not being a medical specialist I don't know if Upson's injuries were genuine or not. What I do know is that Carroll is/was a pisshead. That is not the lifestyle I would expect from someone who is, by nature of his profession, expected to keep himself in peak physical condition.

And if I remember correctly he was once arrested for beating up his wife/girlfriend which in my books makes him a cunt. A cowardly cunt at that.

I didn’t know about that

It was way back in 2010 when he was a Newcastle player. But leopards,spots and all that.

Horrible bastard.

I just don't get any positive views on Carroll, all this unplayable on his day bollocks makes me cringe. The only thing that made that cunt unplayable was the fact he was always fucking injured and was never on the pitch.

His "day" in our colours was 9th April 2016 when he scored that hat trick against Arsenal. Apart from that? Nada.

Not a lot of return for the money we spent is it ?

Well. I reckon as soon as Upson was seen to be looking for a move, lot's of conspiracies were born.

The issue I remember was prevalent when Upson was captaining the side was that as a leader he was too weak and during a particularly bad result (I think it was Wolves) where a very young James Tomkins was having a shocker, I remember him walking around with his head down as if he could not care whereas what he should have been doing was putting his arm round Tomkins and trying to help him while geeing up the rest of the team.
We lost 1-3 I think and Tomkins was hooked at half time. It was felt he chucked young James under the bus
